Valentino Rockstud pumps review

Valentino Rockstud pumps in black patent leather

I finally did it. After dreaming about Valentino Rockstud pumps for years, I have bought myself my first pair of these famous, iconic slingbacks...and I love them !. Surely, these shoes are not on the cheap side, but after a fruitless research for Valentino Rockstud shoes on sale, and not wanting to buy Valentino Rockstud shoes replica, I gave up and bought them, so here we are with my Valentino Rockstud pumps review. Since their debut in 2010, thanks to the new design duo Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, these pointy toed shoes with pyramid studs caught everyone's attention and quickly became a hit, so famous that some brands started to produce Valentino Rockstud lookalikes. I tried to convince myself they costed too much, but after a few years spent wanting them and seeing them everywhere, including on my favorite celebrities and fashion bloggers, I could say they became iconic enough to be bought without regrets. They are gorgeous and also comfortable !. I got them directly online, from Valentino official website. The choice was hard, Rockstuds are sold in many colors and in different kind of leather, but I went for the bicolor black patent leather and poudre Rockstuds, with light gold studs, probably the most classic pair of Valentino Rockstud pumps. After all, these are my first Rockstuds...and I feel they won't be the last pair !.

Valentino Rockstud pump size and fit, patent or matte leather

Before buying my Valentino Rockstud pumps, I had quite a bit of online and offline research about them. First question was how Valentino Rockstud fit ? I found out that, these Valentino slingbacks fit true to size. I usually wear a european size 37 when it comes to heels, but to be sure they would be comfortable I went half size up and ordered a 37,5. My choice ended up for being perfect, so you might want to consider a half size up. Another question was: are Valentino Rockstud comfortable ? I have just walked in them around my house for now, but the answer is yes, also because the toebox is roomy and the heel is high but not too much. Another doubt I had was that I was really torn between patent leather and matte leather Rockstuds, since I loved both, but once again I did some research and patent leather is more durable and less prone to be scratched, therefore patent leather Rockstud were the best choice for me, because I love to have two kind of leather together and I wanted to wear my Valentino slingbacks without fear of them scuffing easily. I wanted to start with a classic color for my Valentino heels, just like I did with my first Chanel bag. The all nude patent leather Rockstuds are also on my wishlist, together with the red Rockstuds, in Valentino red, of course. I would get the matte leather Rockstud Noir in all black, even if I prefer the nude color straps of the two tones version, but they have a rock mood I like. I personally prefer the 4 inches heel Rockstuds, but there is also a 2,5 kitten heel Rockstud pump with three straps that is lovely, and Rockstud ballerina flats that are not my cup of tea in general. Now, I can't wait to wear my brand new pumps, and since I like them with naked legs and it's still cold here, I will have to wait patiently for a bit, but be sure you'll be seeing them often on this fashion blog !.

I love these shoes! I think that after you have lusted after an item for over a year, then you are required to save up the month and buy it. I don't often splurge on fashion items like these shoes. But sometimes you just have to give in. This shoes will go with so many things too so they were a perfect item to splurge on.

Ohhhh Vale the Valentino's are to die for. I feel the same way about them. I fell in love the first time I saw them but they are pricey (although they are worth it). Probably my favorite heels. I can't wait to see you wear them! Let's see how long it will take me to buy a pair. Happy Friday pretty!!

I don't think I'd spend too much money on a pair of shoes but those a not just a simple pair of shoes... They are Valentino! They are gorgeous! I've wanted to have on of those for a few months now. Glad you buy it! I'd like to see an OOTD post with them. Love,Naluhttp://coisasafiins.blogspot.com

Congratulations, dear Vale ♥, I'm convinced this was the right decision! You have chosen a wonderful colour combination for your dream shoes and I'm convinced you will be have very long pleasure with these shoes <3 Looking really for your outfit post with these treasures <3 Happy weekend, my dear friend!

They are certainly iconic and I am so glad you got them. They will enhance any outfit. I got a look alike pair a long while ago, and I still like them. I wear my shoes so hard in NYC it is hard to rationalize them for myself, but I was tempted when I saw them on sale. I bough Valentino boots instead! xx, Ellehttp://mydailycostume.com/

Ciao! Your blog is so cute and so very well put together! I am so glad you left a comment on my post or else I wouldn't have come across your pretty corner on the internet. These shoes are absolute badass. Even though I can't walk in high heels and I would always switch them for a pair of vans, I might not say no to these. Gorgeous! Take care, Vale! ♥
